I'm with David on this image. You've achieved a lot getting this image with an f1.2 100mm equivalent shooting at only 1/4 second, but it's simply not quite up to snuff. The wonderfully shallow depth of field and high character bokeh of the Konica Fifty f1.2 is a special tool to have in your tool box to be out ahooting by available Night!, but it's definitely a high wire act on a razors edge. Tiny twigs fore-n-aft, left or right, or subject fidgets, dumps ya out of the bullseye and off into fuzzy bokeh-land. Keep shooting em and keep bringing em, Walter. I like seeing them on the list.
